Bloom Of Youth Poem by Adeline Foster

Your day will come little girl, little girl, Be patient today and tomorrow.Sip gently the nectar of awakening love, Deep drafts are harbingers of sorrow.*Guard wisely the blush of your opening bud-One blossom is all you're allotted.The body betrays and the heart is deceivedIn throes of first passion besotted.For many a dewdrop of love comes your way To pluck at impatient heart strings, But dew drops evaporate in the sun's ray, Sip gently awaiting well-springs.That first gentle thrill as your petals unfurl, Like a breeze passing over the skin, Can turn to a tempest and rage uncontrolledTo lead you astray from within.Pluck not the bud and hand careless away-No bud that is plucked ever blossoms'Til down the footpaths of your slated dayTrue love will at last come a-walking.

An excellent poem Adeline.Youth is the essence of life.
Try not to rush it away to soon. Like a petal in your poem
if it is plucked too early it will not blossom ever. A good
poem for young ladies and men alike. Enjoyed.

I read this and word after word, it all came together like a work of art. I feel as if every meaning, every line, every phrase was said directly to me, as if you were talking to me. Giving wisdom is one thing but this is truely amazing. Thank you so much for sharing!

I completely loved it, 'wait and your day will come', an interesting philosophy. I, myself believe in 'carpe diem', live for the day, do what you want and make today your day. But wonderful poem nonetheless :)
